i always see people on here who say " i'm running out to the store to check that now!" and i was wandering just how far from their fav stores everybody is? i'm about 15 min from my fav cvs and a good 20 from anything else. now don't get me wrong, cause i love living in the middle of nowhere but sometimes i think it would be nice to be 5 mins from being able to check a deal someone posts! so how far are you guys from town and your fav stores?

I am 2 minutes from Walgreens, 5 minutes from CVS and Kroger, 15 minutes from Meijer and WM, and a good 25 minutes from SuperTarget (not happy about this!). I have gone to Meijer 7 times in the past 7 days since they had great sales, and can run fast into CVS, Kroger or Wags on my way home. I pretty much go out each day at 8:45 with my 2 year old son, we are home by 10:00-10:15, since my daughter gets home from preschool at 11am. Unless it is a very short trip I don't take my kids out after lunch, they are usually too tired. I spend my afternoons on CM and planning/printing IPs.

About 1 minute from Walgreens, 2 minutes from Walmart or 10 from a Super Walmart, 3 minutes from Dominicks, 5 minutes from Jewel & Ultra, 15 from SuperT or 2 from a regular Target & 20 from my favorite CVS as really the closet one is only about 5 minutes away, & 25 from Kroger or Meijer. Overall, I am pretty close to everything which I like...alot.

I'm 5 minutes from Target, Costco, Sam's Club, CVS, and two of my local grocery stores. 10 minutes from Super Target, Wags, Aldi, other local grocery store, and Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market. 15 minutes from Super Wal-Mart.

In other words - I'm really close to everything.

I'm 1.2 miles from Meijer! My favorite store!!! about 2 miles from WM and 3 miles from Sam's, Target, CVS & Walgreens (through traffic though) Kroger is a little farther, we usually plan those days when we go to the library. Lately, I've been leaving my kids home when I make a quick trip to Meijer. We are in and out of there several times a week.

I'm 4 miles from a CVS, Walgreens and Publix, 1 mile from a Food Lion, and 13 miles from a Harris Teeter. Travel time is normally 7 minutes, 3 minutes, and 20 minutes respectively.

I'm 5 minutes from CVS and Stater Bros, and 5 minutes in the other direction from Wags, Rite Aid, and Ralphs. About 10 minutes from Albertsons, Target, Walmart, or Super Target. Also, about 10 minutes from a different Wags, Rite Aid, CVS, and two other Ralphs. Lots of choices!

5 minutes away from Wal-Mart, Giant Eagle,CVS, Wags, Rite-Aid, Target. 20 min from K-Mart and that's only because of traffic lights but 30 min away from Super Target which happens to be in a neighboring state. I'm pretty lucky; live close to almost every store I need.
